TREGRE - TREGER - TRAEGER - TRAEGRE - DREGAR - DRAIGER - DRAIGUER

Jean Trager was born around 1660 in Wernestein, Bavaria, Germany.

He was married to Marie Ulrich and had a son Andre (or Andreas) Tregre around 1687.

He resided in Wernestein, Bavaria, Germany.

We know that he died before 1720 because he is listed as the deceased father of Andre Tregre on the marriage document of Andre Tregre and Anne Barbe Brendel on 14 August 1720. (Robichaux p.344)
